Personal Assistant

**LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT**

**Want to do the best work of your life? Playing your part in making a big difference to the environment and communities we serve. Our people make Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work - a place where you can be yourself and let your skills shine.**

Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.

We’re looking for a Personal Assistant to provide efficient, effective, and proactive support to our two HR Strategic Leaders in HR Operations and Communications.

As our new Personal Assistant, you’ll be responsible for a host of actions, including diary management, monitoring mailboxes, preparing content for meetings, minute taking, providing admin support to the Strategic Leaders, and engaging with various stakeholders across the business and externally.

Coming from a similar role, you’ll be someone with integrity and curiosity, who can hit the ground running, has excellent organisation and time management skills, and can effectively communicate with the stakeholders you engage with.

Sound like you? Then read on.

**LET’S TELL YOU MORE**

Your key accountabilities in helping us will be:

- Fully effective diary management, proactively reviewing and updating diary commitments, handling conflicts and prioritising actions as necessary
- Organise appointments, meetings, and travel
- Monitor mailboxes, promptly replying to enquiries and forwarding necessary communication to individuals
- Prepare papers, presentations, and PR material in advance of meetings
- Finance support when required, including raising purchase orders
- Effectively communicate and engage with the wider Human Resources team and our external partners, providing administrative support where needed

**WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR**

Of course, it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity and a caring attitude in equal weight.

We want people who show up and roll their sleeves up. Restless spirits who are ready to be part of something bigger, who care, who really care... because when you really care, you’ll go above and beyond. When you really care you don’t just talk about it, you do more.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We employ thousands of people from across our community who really care about what they do. Because that is how we do what we do.

And when it comes to inclusion, we’re making sure we keep up the progress with our wonderful working groups - LGBTQ+, Women in Operations & STEM, Disability and Ethnicity, who help us do just that.

**We do more because we care.**

**HOW WE’LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU IN RETURN**

It’s not just a job you’ll get here, you’ll get a career too. We have a range of benefits that reward and recognise great work and award-winning training to ensure you reach your potential.
